Radars were inactive, not jammed: Paf air chief
That’s kind of Stupid by French ,they might end up losing both ,Israelis have been eying that M2k upgrade deal for a long time , MMRCA might go any way until shortlists comes up soon , French if want to link both deal then should come up with some crazy offer , like Buy Rafale weapons package for M2k will be FREE or Reduced upgrade cost something like that , but since i know how French are !! ,it looks like they want Milk and Lassi at the same time
Looks like MMRCA is going European and americans are pulling all strings to bag the deal
I was surprised to read that they needed strengthening the air frame to carry the 2.5 ton Brahmos?
I may be wrong but I think that e.g. tiny Rafale can easily carry such a payload (it still cannot carry the Brahmos but that’s due to physical dimensions not weight).
Su-30 can carry BrahMos but it will put lot of stress on the air frame which will result in-to shorter lifespan for the airframe , Strengthening will reduce stress and increase airframe life to an extend, which will be acceptable to iaf

Well when i was checking out Russian stall and was clicking pictures of Al-31F displayed in Aero India 2011 , i saw some Ground Crew from PACAF checking out AL-31F , they just could not figure out the engine parameters and all the components , and some Russians watching them over heard them and said some thing in their language and giggled
congress will not force american jet to Indian air force , they know that in next elections if NDA comes to power and if they find any thing hanky panky in the Largest Deal aircraft deal , it will take little time to become another Bofors Scam
